YALE'S AlUMNUS.
What Thousand Dollars" Invested
in Education" Did for Gas.
sius Marceilus Clay.

III tsuNtttibH Plu iNt
sins Marcellus Clay.
Somebody recently sent us a copy
of I'm address delivered by Cassius
Marcellus Clay before the alumni Of
Yale University last June. Here
are some Of his apothegms
"A healthy, welldeveloped man is
capital; he stands at times worth in per
son a thousand dollars; and with IA
thousand dollars more invested in edu-
cation he has a capital of more than two
thousand dollars
There's profundity for you. AS a
political economist Cassius Marcel
lus Clay is equal to Professor VIII
liam &. Sumner.
"There should he State militia. an
efficient police and a national standing
army for the suppression Of all discon-
tents.
Good Kill the discontentcd in
the name Of the State and Nation.
Cassius Marcellus Clay's "thousand-
dollar education" bears fruit
eighteen hundred years have not
cilaced the ruins of womans fail. The
Republican, Democratic, Labor and Pro
hibition parties may flourish and may
fade; but woman suffrage gained, all is
lost-like the dead worlds, it may be-
forever
Brave Yalensian Noble Cassius
Marcellus Clay He'd cover before
a woman physically his equal; and
he thinks that with political equality
call would be lost" But then all
men are not brought up (:) in Yale
II hey are not "capital,,' ("capltal is
t,md'), nor worth "Gvo thousand
dollars
"Radical socialism is justly outside the
pale of liberation and must stand for
even as {. crime
So says Cassius MarcoIlus Clay,
Yale alumltus and Kentuckian--so
says "capital." Rmiical socialism,
mind you. 1t may not be wrong if
it is not radical.
Cassus Marcellus Clay is an old
man. lie says his father was Green
Clay. Green would be an appropri-
ate name, apparently, for the elder
Clay's son. However, as he is in the
''sere and yellow leaf" perhaps it
would be charity to believe him coy-
cred with the mantle of sonility.
Soon he'll be colo clay, and mayhap,
in the distant future, aftor passing
through the Transforming mechan-
isms of a modern brickyard, his
clayey soul may grace some rear wall
of stable in some SociaIistic com
munity, and thus finally become
a useful and enduring factor in a
higher civilization, when the value
a man shall not be measured by
weight of gold, nor human discon-
tent punished by death; when woman
shall be free-man's equal, true friend
and partner; when the honest striy-
ing for still further progress shall not
be denounced as crime.
We have lost faith in the II IT,
mate regeneration of Cassius Marcel
lus Clay, He may still become a brick.
In that beautiful state he will APP
proximate he glorious hue that dyes
the summer sunset, and blossoms on
the cheeks of health.
Hail to the regenerate Clay Red
Brick.

Senate Bill

"No. q, S, is still in the ring, and al
though slightly disfigured by the opposi-
ton of Senators Merrill and Dyson, is a
very lively corpse up to this writing. Its
fate in the committee viii probably be
decided this P. NJ The Grand Rapids
delegation having plead the proverty
act and their financial inability to sup
port the bridge, assemblyman Lathrop
has prepared and introduced bill
for the making of toll bridge of the
same. Representatives from Centralia
have expressed themselves favorable to
this scheme.
Assemblyman Lathrop is being scored
by the Grand Rapids people for his
action on the bridge question. But he
remains as fixed as mountain in his
determination to place the burden of
maintaining the bridge where it right
fully belongs-on the two cities receiv-
ing the benefit of it, [Marshfeld
Times.
We would refer brother Norton to an
article on the bridge question which
appears in this issue of the REPORTER
We know the people of Marshfield and
vicinity would like to have the cities of
Grand Rapids and Centralia stand the
burden of the Wood county bridge.
The demand is unjust and therefore
not likely to pass.

The Wausau Torch Gives us the fol-
lowing common sensed editorial in its
last issue on the pension BILL
1t is not expected that the resolutions
passed by the G A. r. posts will make
any difference in the final disposition of
the pension bill. Cleveland has vetoed
the bill and there is no hope Of passing
il over his head The vote Wilt stand
and will be one of the strings by which,
in future years, the name of Cleveland
will hang on high.
''Exhalted ire its less abhored compeers
And fostering in the infamy of years"
The democratic press, with a few mug
Wamp newspapers have slurred and
villifed the bill, called the old soldiers
''paupers" and the bill ''pauper bill"
and have done more mean, NANCY
square-toed, damned lying about it than
would patch the Internal regions from
center to circumference. Ever since
the advent of this administration, the
copperhead and traitorous element of
the country, with one-half of the cleri-
cal force of the treasury have been
figuring on the cost of the war The
whole mass of expense is charged up to
the soldier The clothes he wore, the
hard tack and tough beef he ate, the
mules, the wagons, the guns, the powder
and the lead; all, all, is charged up to
the soldier, and with tiendish delight
the great mathematicians cry "behold
what the soldier has cost the nation
Confound your dishonest souls, why
don't you show the other side of the
ledger? The national credit saved !;
four million human beings made free,
all of the southern states saved to the
nation. Figure up the value of the land,
the Improvements, the personal prop
erty, the prestige among nations, the
value of the free government system,
the national honor, everything that was
gained by the boys in blue, and you owe
them a debt you can never pay. The
nation has gained more through the
efforts OF these brave men than she can
ever hope to pay.

Correspondence.
SAN Francisco, Cal, !
Nov 23d 1894

WV. Aoo, ICOO
DEAR MoTHER.-Aunt Fannie and Ann
are going back to Dutch Flat in a few
days, but l am going to stay here with
Aunt Lavina and Uncle Bill Rablin a
while longer see by the papers YOU
have been having some terrible storms
out east as they call it here The
weather is just splendid here, summer
like and warm. Only one forenoon s
rain since [ have been in San Francisco,
so far, but they are expecting rain for it
is damp.
Last Sunday we all started at O'Clock
A. NJ. for the greatest sight in California
that is the Cliffs where you get a fine
view of the Pacific Ocean in all its
grandeur. We went to the Cliffs from
home by street cars distance of six
miles, to the base of the bluff, then
walked to the top where a large hotel
is located. From the porch we could
see three large rocks just covered with
Seals. Myl but it is fine sight The
wind was blowing hard and made the
ocean very rough. There was seven
large vessels trying to get in, but
couldn't on account of the breakers
We went along the beach and hunted
for shells. We climbed another "out-of-
breath" hill to get to the largest private
garden in the state, owned by Adolphus
Sutro. Statuary Of all kinds and
shapes, the flower beds are arranged in
all ways and are well worth coming
this long distance to see. [ went up
four long flights of stairs to get the
view of the ocean, wish you could have
seen it, then down around the point of
rock that jots out into the Golden Gate.
1t isa projection of land that divides the
Ocean from the San Francisco Bay. We
took the street cars back another way
for three miles went into the Golden
Gate Park where the finest flowers and
hot house plants can be seen. Some
wonderful sights, one plant called a
baby plant where you can see a little
baby as plain as can be in the center.
The Holy Ghost plant with little white
dove Oh top of one Of the petels. [ had
no idea there was such wonderful plants
as they had there. The park contains
5000 acres, the largest in the world, but
one, and that is in London. We didn't
stay long as we were all SO tired. Am
going again some day when I am fresh.
To-day went to fruit fair, saw a
squash that weighed 27S pounds, a
bunch of grapes that weighed Is pounds
just think of their enormity.
| calculate to stay here in San Fran
cisco until after Christmas time anyway
| have not opened one of my books yet
and don't think [ shall unless | settle
down after they go, but there is fifty
places to go to all the time. When is
Mr.. and Mrs. J. D. Witter coming out,
wish they would drop me postal card,
SO that | can see them.
VIII write you again from here before
leave. Your loving daughter,

Some people are small in stature; mar
row and contracted in benevolence;
morals in depraved condition; princi-
pies of character weak and pliable;
void of religion and good impulses;
never retain the shadow of kindly
feeling for the mistakes of others,
and such person is Eddie Brundage
who presides at the helm ofthe Tribune.
He apparently never loses an opportun-
ity to re-publish the small errors that
may creep into any well regulated
newspaper, unbeknown oftentimes to
the publisher through the inexper-
ience of new hands. There is hardly
an issue of the Tribune but what these
same criticisms might be made of it,
vet we consider it too small and too low
to do. 1t simply indicates the small,
mean, little things, he is always ready
to do with relish.
